Taranto-Stemma (Italy) Vinyl Decal: A Visual Tapestry of History

Design Overview

This decal showcases the official coat of arms, or stemma, of Taranto, a historic city in Apulia, Italy. The artwork is a vibrant representation of the city's rich heritage and maritime legacy. The design adheres strictly to the heraldic blazon, offering a clear and precise visual of the emblem.

Central Emblem: The Dolphin and Sea God

At the heart of the design lies a striking depiction of a dolphin, swimming and gracefully carrying a naked sea god. This god, rendered in meticulous detail, is shown holding a trident, poised as if to cast it, in his right hand. In his left hand, the sea god holds a flowing cloth. This dynamic composition immediately evokes the city's deep connection to the sea and its origins as a Greek colony. The dolphin symbolizes the city's maritime power, and the sea god represents its mythical origins and enduring bond with the waters.

The Chief: Honor and Heritage

Positioned above the central image, the red chief provides a contrasting background to the central design. This section is adorned with a golden shell, symbolizing maritime wealth. Flanking the shell are the Greek letters "TA ΡΑΣ" ("Taras"), forming a cohesive unit that both honors the city's legendary founder and reinforces its Greek heritage. The combination of the red chief, gold shell, and Greek inscription offers an elegant frame that elevates the composition of the coat of arms.

Symbolism in Color

The design utilizes color strategically to convey meaning. The deep blue background, or "Azure," evokes the vastness of the sea, while the red chief provides a bold contrast and signifies honor and valor. The golden shell adds a touch of elegance and underscores the city's prosperity. This considered combination of imagery and color creates a striking visual testament to Taranto's illustrious past.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
